\u201cDigital humanities thus grows specifically out of an attempt to make \u2018humanities computing,’ which sounded as though the emphasis lay on the technology, more palatable to humanists in general.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This quote helps us better understand the goal of digital humanities. This quote stresses the important role that technology plays in the world of digital humanities and that technology plays a bigger role than the actual humanities aspect.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd there are initiatives that are designed to help digital humanities archives and projects become interoperable and to facilitate the peer review of these projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here Fitzpatrick talks about the importance of \u201cinitiatives\u201d or projects funded, and how they are very useful in the digital humanities world as people can offer commentary on more items. I find this interesting because it makes peoples commentaries more accessible to the general public.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, when many of us hear the term digital humanities today, we take the referent to be not the specific subfield that grew out of humanities computing but rather the changes that digital technologies are producing across the many fields of humanist inquiry\u201d<\/p>\n

I tend to agree that when hearing digital humanities I do not think of a field that has stranded off of humanities. I see digital humanities as what digital technology has done to make works more accessible. Thus, improving the amount of people that have access to these works. A person no longer has to go to the louvre to see the Mona Lisa they can simply type it into google.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cdifferences often produce significant tension, particularly between those who suggest that digital humanities should always be about making<\/em> (whether making archives, tools, or new digital methods) and those who argue that it must expand to include interpreting\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I find this excerpt intriguing as this dilemma among people as to what role interpreting should play in digital humanities. I believe it should play a large role. Computers can do much in terms of accomplishing things and improving the digital humanities, but the computers lack something important that I feel are essential for humanities, and that is human reason.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe particular contribution of the digital humanities, however, lies in its exploration of the difference that the digital can make to the kinds of work that we do as well as to the ways that we communicate with one another.\u201d<\/p>\n

I agree with this Fitzpatrick statement on the contribution of digital humanities. I believe a prime example of this accomplishment is the bible. Prior to digital humanities the bible was translated between many of languages. This translations often accidentally included the commentary from the previous translator. With digitalizing all books of the bible you can look at different versions in different languages to attempt to read the bible in its quintessential form. This is where digital humanities is relevant as it helps us better understand the humanities.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
